NEW YORK, United States — Taylor Swift's hotly anticipated "The Tortured Poets Department" is here along with a surprise second album — 31 tracks released Friday in which the megawatt star purges her inner turmoil while scorching former lovers.
The 34-year-old billionaire is one of music's most shrewd users of social media, employing her massive online presence as well as her songwriting to create a sense of intimacy with fans through so-called "Easter eggs" and hidden messages. She put on the first tour to break the billion mark and is on track to make a second billion by the time it's over.
While her cuts against Healy are sharp — "And I don't even want you back / I just want to know / If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal," she sings on "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" — she portrays herself as a similarly messy character."In a time of stan culture run amok, it's thrilling to hear a superstar address her followers this way," the critic wrote in a review.
After a highly publicized dispute with Big Machine executives regarding ownership of her first six albums, she made the risky decision to re-record those albums to own their rights. "Tortured Poets" is Swift's ninth LP in five years — five original studio albums and four re-records — and with it, she will almost certainly, like all the others, strike chart-topping gold.
